Mr Hollom was an officer candidate of the Royal Navy. He was an incompetent midshipman who had reached the age where he could no longer hope for a commission. The first time Hollom served with Jack Aubrey was aboard HMS Lively, but he was taken to a hospital ship when he became ill. During the War of 1812, after being shunted from ship to ship, he was taken on the Surprise by Aubrey. During the voyage from Gibraltar to the Pacific, he was thought of as a Jonah, and generally disliked and disrespected by the crew. Later in the voyage, one of the sailors pushed past Hollom without making any notion to the officer's presence.

  • Mr Hollom was an officer candidate of the Royal Navy. He was an incompetent midshipman who had reached the age where he could no longer hope for a commission. The first time Hollom served with Jack Aubrey was aboard HMS Lively, but he was taken to a hospital ship when he became ill.

During the voyage from Gibraltar to the Pacific, he was thought of as a Jonah, and generally disliked and disrespected by the crew. Later in the voyage, one of the sailors pushed past Hollom without making any notion to the officer's presence. Of all the ship's crew, only the captain and Mr Horner, the ship's gunner, were not aware of the affair Mr Hollom had with the young Mrs Horner, who had served as caretaker to the ship's boys. Mr Hollom impregnated Mrs Horner who was given an illegal abortion by Mr Higgins, the surgeon's mate. While the Surprise was being provisioned on the Galapagos Islands, Horner allegedly beat the two lovers to death out of jealousy. Hollom was not missed by the crew.
